when I run the command lsblk, the output is like this: Code: NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 1 1.8T 0 disk |-sda1 8:1 1 381M 0 part /boot |-sda2 8:2 1 1K 0 part |-sda5 8:5 1 1.8T 0 part / `-sda6 8:6 1 24G 0 part [SWAP] sdb 8:16 1 1.8T 0 disk `-sdb1 8:17 1 1.8T 0 part /media/sys-bkp what I understand is that when I cd in to /media/sys-bkp I am in the second drive sdb1 Now when I go to say /media/sys-bkp/var/www/cbsindia.in/web and run a ls command, it lists all the files as in /var/www/cbsindia.in/web some time back I ran a command rsync -avhx / /media/sys-bkp/ but cbsindia.in/web/ in sdb1 there should be no file, as I copied it today only, also if I delete the file listed in sdb1 it is deleted from sda5 which shows that even after mount it is listing the files from sda5 I must be doing something horribly wrong here, don't know what. output for command blkid the output is like this: Code: root@server2:~# blkid /dev/sda1: UUID="01ca4016-efd6-46c4-959a-af70ed4c7335" TYPE="ext3" PARTUUID="20886952-01" /dev/sda5: UUID="e14b3398-d632-410f-ab61-a5ad4893d7d6" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="20886952-05" /dev/sda6: UUID="330a1bfc-f5ba-405d-b4b3-59f3f30c7594" TYPE="swap" PARTUUID="20886952-06" /dev/sdb1: UUID="f0180beb-37be-4c09-b632-5188b0edcb6f" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="a950ecb8-01" This happens only for the folder /var/www but I compared say etc folder here the contents are different. I want to make a exact copy of hdd1 to hdd2 manually or using cron. (not using RAID)
The path /var/www/cbsindia.in is a symling which points to /var/www/clients/client..... When you make an exact copy, then the symlink is copied as it is. So when you copy the symlink /var/www/cbsindia.in to /media/sys-bkp/, then this symlink must point still to the original location in /var/www. So you did nothing wrong with creating this copy, if you want to check the files of the website that you copied, then check them in the path /media/sys-bkp/var/www/clients/client.....
